About Capital Periodontics

Capital Periodontics was established by Dr. Avi Shelemay in 2008 in Barrhaven, serving the Ottawa and the Ottawa valley communities. Dr. Shelemay is a board certified Periodontist. His philosophy is – Patient care comes first. We aim to provide a high standard of periodontal care while treating patients in a warm, caring environment.

In addition to providing patient care, we are engaged in continuing education, primarily in the fields of implant dentistry and periodontics. We constantly update our knowledge and skills by attending conferences and courses. Dr. Shelemay regularly teaches advanced dentistry at the University of Toronto, both to the alumni and to the University of Toronto students in the periodontics program. We also strive to continue to be a resource and support to the local dental community by providing seminars and workshops.
